The Chinese artist Li Lei (born 1965) explores Confucian and Taoist aesthetics through abstract painting, a genre which only blossomed in China—particularly in Shanghai—in the late 1980s. These strongly gestural abstractions, which are superbly reproduced in this first monograph, are described by the artist as “landscapes of the heart.”
